Analysten fordern Einzelhändler auf, Web Experience Management in ihre Online-Planungen einzubeziehen

Lexington, USA / Hamburg, 26. August 2008 — Das kommende Weihnachtsgeschäft im Blick warnen Analysten vor den unzureichenden Vorbereitungen des Online-Handels. Laut dem neuesten Benchmark-Bericht des Marktforschungsinstitutes RSR Research investiert der Einzelhandel noch immer zu wenig in die Verbesserung der Web-Erfahrung seiner Konsumenten. So mancher Kunde, der kurz vor Weihnachten noch Einkäufe tätigen will, könnte dann auch im Internet vor geschlossenen Türen stehen.

Die Studie mit dem Titel „Playing Well with Others: eCommerce’s Evolving Role in the Customer Experience“ wurde von Gomez, Inc., einem führenden Anbieter von Web Experience Management-Diensten, unterstützt. Sie stellt fest, dass Einzelhändler sich nur zögerlich an neueste Technologien im eCommerce herantasten und ihre Onlineshops daher oft nur ungenügend auf ihre Aufgaben vorbereitet sind. Die Analysten Nikki Baird und Steve Rowen, Co-Autoren des Berichts, raten daher dringend, sich mit den Auswirkungen der Internettechnologien auf die Kundenerfahrung auseinanderzusetzen. Read more…

Stylishwebdesign.us will launch a new service which combines web design and SEO optimization to help customers achieve maximum efficiency within limited timeframes.

January 25, 2008 — As of the beginning of February 2008, stylishwebdesign.us, which is one of the most innovative providers of web design services, will launch its new web design related web directory. This so-called “optimized web design service” will feature a number of the services traditionally offered by the company, combined with new features like custom web design and website re-design. Special deals will also be available for Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Anne R., web designer at stylishwebdesign.us, said: “Are you having problems thinking of new color combinations? Do you wish that you could have a reference file for evaluating new color combinations when designing websites? There area many helpful tools and websites out there that list good combination colors but wouldn’t you prefer to look at designs implementing these colors? I would. I have created about 45 different simple designs implementing workable color combinations, and I will add to this list at regular intervals.”

The main benefit of their web design directory is the originality. A website will be designed exclusively and nobody in the world can have the same one, because beneficiars will own the copyright for this design. Another advantage of ordering a custom made website is that the owner can choose how his website will look and get the desired functionality for it.

Anne R. expects the directory to expand over the years so a listing on their directory will help to promote web design companies, websites and they fully expect the Web Design Directory to be a really useful resource for anyone searching for web designers and web site design services throughout the UK – United Kingdom in England, Wales and Scotland.

One of the leading online marketplaces for the advertising industry has been rebuilt and boasts a series of new services and relevant functionality. Myadbase launched its services to the global advertising industry around two years ago and now features over 500 UK and Ireland based sellers of advertising space across media formats including magazines, online, newspapers, TV, radio and outdoor.

Cambridge, UK January 24, 2008 — One of the leading online marketplaces for the advertising industry has been rebuilt and boasts a series of new services and relevant functionality. Myadbase launched its services to the global advertising industry around two years ago and now features over 500 UK and Ireland based sellers of advertising space across media formats including magazines, online, newspapers, TV, radio and outdoor.

The revamped Myadbase.com improvements include the launch of a ‘shop window’ profile page service, where advertising agencies can shout about their expertise and upload examples of creative designs from recent advertising campaigns.

Sellers of advertising space can add their own colour profile pages as well as actually placing ads for sale. A similar format of uploading information is available to advertising agencies and both services come with a range of complimentary tools when publishers and agencies sign in to their own management suite area.

Buyers from around the world can then view relevant offerings from UK and Ireland based companies and get in touch with them directly. All agencies and sellers of advertising will also get a report at the beginning of each month which shows interest levels from potential customers.

An enhanced service is free to all publishers and agencies for a period of three months from the date they register. The enhanced service includes an image, description, media pack and live links for media sellers and a similar package with the addition of creative design uploads for advertising agencies. When the trial period approaches expiration the agencies and publishers will have the option of continuing with the enhanced service for a fee to cover a full 12 months. Alternatively, they can downgrade to a basic service which still gives them a presence on the site, but does not include the ‘bells and whistles’ associated with the enhanced service.
